Abstract
The present invention provides a novel apparatus and method for mapping of urban regions. An apparatus includes the remote sensing equipment that is connected to a computer processor. The remote sensing equipment gathers imaging data about an urban region. The computer processor interprets the imaging data to generate a map of the urban region comprising representations that identify a first set of indicia representing physiographic characteristics, a second set of indicia representing different types of built forms, and a third set of indicia representing patterns of human activity associated with both the physiographic characteristics and the built forms. The map can also include a fourth set of indicia representing an intensity level that at least one of the other types of indicia occurs.

40. An apparatus for generating a map comprising:
-
means for receiving; a first set of data of an urban region representing physiographic characteristics, a second set of data of said urban region representing different types of built forms and their locations and a third set of data of said urban region representing patterns of human activity inferred from said different types of built forms, said activity associated with both said physiographic characteristics and said built forms; means for determining different types of entities for each said set of data; and means for generating a representation of at least one precinct; each precinct occupying an area less than an area of said map; each precinct comprising indicia respective to each set of data that corresponds to said entities. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44)
